[MINC-users] Building minc-toolkit from github: MD5 sums differ for HDF5

[Nicolas Cordier]

Hello,



I am trying to build minc-toolkit by following the installation steps given in:
  https://github.com/BIC-MNI/minc-toolkit

I recall them briefly:
  git clone --recursive git://github.com/BIC-MNI/minc-toolkit.git minc-toolkit
  cd minc-toolkit
  mkdir build && cd build
  ccmake .. # Enter the location of all dependencies, if not detected automatically ...
  make && make test && make install



My problem arises at the very beginning of the last step: for HDF5 downloads, expected and actual MD5 sums differ.
  CMake Error at HDF5-prefix/src/HDF5-stamp/download-HDF5.cmake:6 (file):
    file FILE(DOWNLOAD ) error; expected and actual MD5 sums differ
      for file: [/home/ncordier/Softwares/BIC-MNI/minc-toolkit/build/HDF5-prefix/src/hdf5-1.8.10-patch1.tar.gz]
        expected MD5 sum: [2147a289fb33c887464ad2b6c5a8ae4c]
          actual MD5 sum: [497cde3ee8a59c2c224f476e99591947]



I have tried to bypass this problem by commenting out the two following lines:
  HDF5-prefix/src/HDF5-stamp/download-HDF5.cmake:6
  HDF5-prefix/src/HDF5-stamp/verify-HDF5.cmake:24

However, another error arises, which is likely tied to the previous one:
  CMake Error at HDF5-prefix/src/HDF5-stamp/extract-HDF5.cmake:33 (message):
    error: extract of
    '/home/ncordier/Softwares/BIC-MNI/minc-toolkit/build/HDF5-prefix/src/hdf5-1.8.10-patch1.tar.gz'
    failed

I believe the tar archive is corrupted.



Is there a fix or another simple way to build minc-toolkit?



Yours faithfully,
